Are We Willing to Do the Will of God

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. - John 4:34

Apostle Paul tells us to seek out the will of the Lord. In Ephesians 5:17 we read, “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”

Living in the center of God’s will rules out all falseness of religion and puts the stamp of true sincerity upon our service to God. The Bible says, “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Ephesians 6:6).

We should covet the will of God for our lives more than anything in the world. A devotional I read had this to say about the will of God….

You can have peace in your heart with little if you are in the will of God; but you can be miserable with much if you are out of His will.

You can have joy in obscurity if you are in the will of God, but you can be wretched with wealth and fame out of His will.

You can be happy in the midst of sufferings if you are in God’s will; but you can have agony in good health out of His will.

You can be contented in poverty if you are in the will of God; but you can be wretched in riches out of His will.

You can be calm and at peace in the midst of persecution as long as you are in the will of God; but you can be miserable and defeated in the midst of acclaim if you are out of His will.

All of our lives hinge on this: the will of God. So it is all-important that we discover His plan for our lives.

Have we discovered God’s plan for our lives yet? Have we asked?
